Databases for off-campus alumni access
A small set of our databases are available to alumni from off-campus, and these are listed here. Most of our databases are licensed so that only current students, faculty, and staff may access them off-campus, but you may access these databases in person at one of the library's desktop computers.
To access these databases from off-campus you must use your UWin Account, which all alumni are entitled to have.
